Manchester United transfer latest: Key date emerges in Vidal pursuit

Juventus have reportedly set a deadline for Manchester United to front up the money they are demanding for Arturo Vidal.

We detailed yesterday how Juventus were growing increasingly frustrated with Manchester United's interest in Arturo Vidal hanging over them, without transmitting into an actual offer.

It has left the player distracted, reportedly keen on a move, and has them considering their own transfer options with what to do with the proceeds. Yet without the €50 million minimum they are demanding, the situation is at stalemate.

Now the Italian media is claiming, that to resolve the situation, United have been set a deadline to get their offer in.
